Notes

For extra depth of flavor, let the chicken marinate in the glaze for 30 minutes to 1 hour before baking. Bone-in, skin-on thighs also work beautifully in this recipe. Simply increase the total bake time to 55 to 65 minutes. Peach preserves make a great substitute for apricot preserves if that is what you have on hand.
